Ok I finally broke down and installed winXP Pro. I have a total of 3 hard drives, I installed winXP on my primary master HD, from scratch, Fdisk and everything. Now that I have XP loaded it has assigned the primary master HD with the OS on it drive letter "G" Drive "c" is my pos SCSI drive. Now Obviously I want my OS drive to be called drive "c" Is there any way I can reassign the drive letter or am I screwed and need to reload XP with no drives plugged in?

I believ your screwed. You can change drive letters in XP, but not the partition XP is installed in.

I don't want to change the partition, I have it installed exactly where I want it. I want my primary master named "c" drive. Is that possible? The drive winXP is installed on only has one partition, and it is set up as primary master HD but called drive "g".

Under control panel, under performance and maintenance click on Administrative tools. Then click on computer management. Under the storage area click on disk management. Right click on the drives you want to change and select, Change drive letter and paths. That should be all you have to do.
